Home Care Services

If your family recognises the value of growing old at home, our home care services are for you.

Neither giving nor receiving care is easy.

That is why Home Instead Senior Care puts relationships first - to enhance the quality of life you and your family share, to support your independence, to protect your dignity and, above all, respect your personal wants and needs.

Home Instead CAREGivers provide compassionate and reliable home care services, helping to keep seniors living happily, safely and independently in the comfort of their own home.

The Home Care Packages Programme offers a package of home care services to support people to remain living independently at home with choice, flexibility and control.

Whether you receive or are eligible for a Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 or Level 4 Home Care Package, you are waiting for an ACAT or ACAS assessment, or you are waiting in the national prioritisation queue for a Home Care Package, our services are available to support you at home immediately. Our quality care and support services are available to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Medical appointments, shopping, social outings and family events. Get there, go there with Home Instead Senior Care's personal transport services. Ensuring your loved ones get from A to B in a safe and timely manner.

​​​Not so long ago, an accident or medical emergency often meant sending a senior family member off to a nursing home. Today, our CAREGivers provide all the supportive care a person needs to continue living at home, even for people with chronic illness and life-limiting diseases.

​Who can benefit from in-home care?

We believe that older people can continue to live safely, independently and comfortably in their own home with the right in-home care and support.

People recently discharged from the hospital may require temporary assistance with cooking, laundry and transportation.

Family members with a cognitive impairment like dementia may benefit from ongoing help with medication reminders and companionship.

In general, if you worry that your loved ones cannot safely care for themselves at home anymore, they may benefit from the in-home care we provide.

Here are some specific signs your loved one may require some care and assistance at home:

Housekeeping isn’t kept up like it used to be

Household bills aren’t being paid

Medications aren’t being taken on schedule

Personal hygiene is declining

Appliances, like stoves and irons, are left on and forgotten

Recently lost their spouse, or seems lonely or depressed

Lack of interest in food or cooking

Driving is becoming a concern

Diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease or a related dementia

Arthritis has made it difficult to perform simple tasks like buttoning clothes.

Our home care service increases quality of life at home

Our professional CAREGivers not only provide your loved ones with physical assistance, but they offer companionship – someone to talk to, someone to listen. For elderly family members this personal connection may be the most valuable and welcome part of in-home care.

But professional CAREGiving isn’t just about companionship. Our highly trained CAREGivers deliver services tailored to your family member’s individual needs. A typical day might look like this:

Get started with a shower, a hot breakfast and a reminder to take medications.

Do some light housekeeping while chatting about current events.

Put on a load of laundry.

Escort your family member to their doctor’s appointment.

Assist them with the collection of prescriptions and grocery shopping.

Hang out clothes and make the bed.

Prepare a nutritious lunch and sit at the table together to enjoy it.

Help your family member go for a walk outdoors to get some fresh air.

Make sure your loved one is settled in bed for the night before leaving – or stay overnight if need be to ease your family member’s anxiety about living alone.

Experienced care

Home Instead Senior Care has over ten years of experience caring for seniors and their families. In that time Home Instead has developed extensive training programs, built on research and experience, so that our CAREGivers are prepared to provide the highest quality of care — the kind of care we would want for our own parents, spouse or grandparents. We understand that deciding to use outside help requires a lot of trust and humility, so Home Instead Senior Care is committed to not just capable care, but compassionate care.
